If it seems like I'm a little excited about getting a table saw set up, here's why...this is where it was a little over 10 months ago

This was a very therapeutic process for me, as silly as it seems. This was the last tool I was using before the tornado hit, ripping panels for our chicken coops. Cast tops rust almost instantly with even small amounts of moisture, so for the last 10 months, while working fine, the rusted top of the table saw has been an eyesore and just a reminder. NO MORE!! The bottom picture is how I left it yesterday, after some naval jelly and a lot of elbow grease, the table top is once again sparkling and ready to go back to work!

Big step yesterday, the table saw has officially retaken its rightful place at the center of the shop!

Still probably a couple of months away from actually building anything, but I've been drawing up plans for our first item, which will be a live edge outdoor bench.

Spent all day Saturday cleaning up the shop. Lots of boxes to unpack, tons of stuff just got thrown in boxes after tornado to get them out of the weather, now we get to upack them all and get it all organized. So far I've found 3 boxes that were JUST nails, screws, and bolts, with about 100 different kinds of each. If your passion in life is sorting, let me know, i've got hours of entertainment for you.

Working the mill

02/25/2015

About a year ago, my parents were hit by the tornado that came through Central Arkansas. One of the things that was destroyed in that tornado was our wood shop. It was completely leveled, but luckily many of the tools survived with a few scratches and dents, a broken handle here and there, but still in good working order, and still square, which is important. We have spent the last 9 months rebuilding and repairing their house, and now that that's taken care of, we're moving on to getting the shop set back up. Even though the shop was destroyed in the tornado, we rebuilt it bigger and better, and we're putting it to good use, once it's all back up and running, hence, Burly Wood, a father/son, family owned lumber and furniture company specializing in solid wood, live edge/natural edge furniture. We're in the process of getting the set back up now, and we hope to start building our first few pieces this spring.
